get ready with me: 🎀disney trauma dump edition🎀 (like we're on facetime) + new makeup

[@Racky12]

Honestly I love this whole unedited “FaceTime” just talking idea. I related to so much of this. I have an AuDHD son and it’s one thing to go to any kind of busy space with two kids but a whole different thing when those kids have mental illnesses. I’ve never been to Disney and I’ll gladly keep waiting until my kids are way older at this point. My oldest son does the same thing autumn does when he’s grumpy where he will ask questions he knows the answer to just to get under my skin. It’s so frustrating especially when you’re already anxious and stressed. You’re definitely not alone there.

[@alexandraoconner1093]

On my son's 5th birthday, he managed to dart off into the crowd just before the Main Street Electrical Parade. I went into panic mode, but my boyfriend - who was extremely well versed in all things Disneyland - assured me that he would be found in 20 seconds. He was right, thank God, but that moment of fear lasted me a complete lifetime. My boy is in his 30's now, but I still remember the way I felt that night. Disney isn't always the happiest damn place on earth.

[@kplusr1596]

God that sounds like a nightmare! You did so great. If it helps, whenever I get frustrated with my grumpy-ass 10yr old I say, "You're allowed to feel *emotion*. You are not allowed to *unacceptable behaviour*". It doesn't magically fix anything, but it does set the boundary there.

[@mariaagloriaa]

Yes!! Amen! This is so wildly true I just wish she could comprehend it more in the moment 😅

[@brittany0336]

You’re such a good mama and a wonderful wife, it’s a okay to let your emotions go especially in front of your kids cause they are feeling the same…stay strong beautiful and maybe try a different vacation like Lego Land or Sea World! Much love to you guys 💞

[@jayekayevanvalkenburg8057]

I love it when you are so real. ❤

[@ClaireSylvia]

After hearing Brandon talk about Disney I’m kind of glad to hear your thoughts on it now 😂❤ as a 30 year old who’s never been to Disney (only lived on the west coast for 5 years) I keep trying to convince my bf who’s from LA to take me even though he’s been a million times. I may risk it for a Halloween trip 😂😂

[@noxicat7449]

I definitely recommend it for halloween time. BUT! If you can, get tickets to whatever Halloween Bash they have. I went to the Oogie Boogie Bash a couple of years ago (I think they change it up every year) and as a super anxious adhder(I'm very much like Brandon), it was a much better time than the rest of the park. For the Bash, they close off the park (I think its usually california adventure) after a certain time specifically for those with tickets to the bash. Most rides were open, they have extra attractions with villains, we had a blast. But every other time I've been to disney (either park) in the past few years have been awful.

[@mariaagloriaa]

I don’t want to discourage anyone!! Haha that was only my experience 😅

[@msreeceecupful]

Disney with kids is a a lot different than Disney with just adults. I have experienced it both ways. And although i liked going with kids and watching the excitement on their lil faces i can say I’d rather go with adults. Now the crowd part of it is definitely still the same but as an adult without kids you can deal with that much better. Taking kids when it’s hot, there are thousands of ppl moving in so many different directions, waiting in hrs long lines can be so overwhelming. So i say go experience it at least once if you can

[@angelasmith7011]

I married a Mr. Disney. 🙄 We went so many times over the years. The last time we went to Disneyworld was in 2017, and I don't care if we ever go back. The crowds are insane, the cost is crazy but my main turn off is how rude people are. A lot could care less if they mow over a kid. Every time you said Mary, I heard it in Katya's voice🙂

[@mariaagloriaa]

Best compliment ever!! 🥹 hahah we love katya!! And girl.. I could never… I cannot do that place again at least not with two little ones.

Girl I'd be absolutely fuming just about the fact they call a stroller a weapon and I couldn't imagine the frustration of such a ridiculously busy and crowded theme park with kids of any age no less.. sounds like a nightmare almost right away for us

[@mariaagloriaa]

Girl it’s a stroller at the end of the day?! We were ANNOYED!

[@fourever2ne1]

I felt for her on the whole thing but the second she mentioned losing him for a few minutes I felt even worse! When my nephew was like 10ish we lost him at comic con (I don't even know for how long, but it felt like forever) and it was so scary! I didn't even care about lines and things like that while looking for him. I cutted one line for some wrestler just to ask his security person for help and if he could put it in the walkie talkie thing. Luckily there was only a few people in line at the time and they were very understanding and so was the wrestler and security

[@blankitabby90]

I was a key holder up until this past May. my now 7yo is on the spectrum and has ADHD and we used to go every 4-6 weeks. I will highly recommend a do-over. Since your son is on the spectrum and your daughter has adhd he should qualify for the DAS, you could also qualify for the disability tag at the gate for the wagon. The DAS pass works something like the genie+ (fast pass). I am planning to repurchase our pass once I know my 3yo meets the 40inch height restriction on some rides. right before our pass expired she was at 39.5 inches. Disneyland can be a magical place, for first time visitors it does take a lot of planning and research. I really hope you give Disney another chance.

[@thedogsitr1791]

I hear ya on Disney land. It is definitely not what I expected either. It also stresses me out too! I don’t like overcrowded public places. Glad you were able to talk it out with us. Hope you feel better now.

[@kendylsaylors1568]

Girl! My son is the same way! So many times outings have been not fun cause he doesn't want them to be. I have also been that mom telling my kid he needs to suck it up cause everything isn't about him. Don't feel bad girl you're not the only out here struggling with that hang in the Mama! Also you should one of these day get to Florida to universal studios and islands of adventure! They are 100x better than Disney! I've never been to Disneyland but Disney world is just like that and I hated it lol. The other two are so much more fun.

[@nicholethechronichousewife480]

I lived in Anaheim for years and years. About a mile away from Disney. I've had an annual pass to Disney 4 or 5 times with 4 kids. I feel I can honestly say without any doubt, hands down THE ABSOLUTE WORST PLACE ON EARTH. Disneyland is my version of hell! You're definitely not alone!

[@bahngchanz]

AHHH OMGG YOU’RE BACK YAYAY!! 😭💗

[@annecarter7735]

Pretty much the same experience with my kids last October. It’s so crowded and you wait hours for a 2 minute ride. It was so different when I was a kid, less wait times, less crowded. It’s now just too much.

[@mariaagloriaa]

Waiting hours for a 2 minute ride is SO REAL 🫠

[@adrianaward5285]

I worked at Disneyland for many years. It's definitely challenging to try to enjoy the parks during the summer or the holidays. It's overly packed. I recommend going in September for the Halloween decorations, and kids are back in school. And 2nd week of January- march , a lot slower. I hope you try and your family try it again.

That's why when I took my girls we did one day at Disney and the other at Legoland. I can't handle being at the "happiest place on earth" just to be miserable!!!! We have not been back and don't honestly plan to

[@jessicabrandow4304]

I’m so sorry you guys had a rough time. I understand the anxiety of your child crying or whining in public. My autistic son is 11 and now instead of crying when he’s frustrated or upset, he presents in different ways that may be upsetting to others around us. I have two neurodivergent kiddos as well that present in very different ways, different triggers with different reactions to them. Just knowing your kids and yourselves enough to have the confidence to pull the plug on something as big as Disney, that shows real strength. You didn’t try to force the experience even after so many tribulations. “Use that” 😉

[@Amandaaaah]

"Caudalie can do no wrong...why's this brown?" 😂

[@trolllover8573]

We as parents have gone through what u went through. The parks are always so full if people who just disentangle care about anyone or anything. I'm so sorry you just had a hard time there but you were able to see those specials monets that did happen during that time. Girl your face was si glowing I really think k it a cute look.

[@maryleehayes]

My kids and me are not morning people.. my partner is the morning person who wakes up with all the energy we should all have combined into him. It's sometimes hard for family trips that require early mornings Disney is a whole beast, that needs a mid day nap to take in all that there is to offer. It worked for my kids as small humans and now as young adults. Mid day naps are a must

I don’t know how long you’ll be back on KZbin for but I’m most definitely going to soak up every second of it. ❤❤ also, I do not understand the difference between a wagon and a stroller. I’m so sorry that your first experience there was so chaotic. God bless you both. I also get extremely anxious and stressed when my child cries in public and I hate that I allow myself to feel that way because he’s a child, he’s going to cry occasionally but it truly breaks me as a mom. These are the reasons why I don’t think Disney land is meant for me lol. I can’t do the crowds and lines and there’s never a time when they don’t have crowds and lines, but I’m happy you got to check that off your list. Woohoo lol

I used to be a Disney goer with a pass. This was like 10 years ago when my daughter was a toddler(wow I feel old 👵). It was rough then, but not this bad. And California adventure was much more manageable back then (at least to me it was). I used to prefer it over Disneyland. We'd usually go and start our day there, take a break and then go to Disneyland in the evening. But in the last like 5 years or so it's just gotten so unbearable to deal with either park. I'm so sorry that you guys had such an awful time.

Maybe once they are a little older!

​@mariaagloriaa My hubby and I went to Disneyworld in Orlando, Florida for our very first time. Put it this way. My hubby spent our spending budget the second day we were at the Drury Hotel. We bought a 4 day experience. $800 US $1300 Canadian. We went to Orlando, Florida to see The Rolling Stones (iconic) and we had maybe $1500 Canadian spending. So we got to see these incredible Disney parks. But, we needed to save money for the concert merch on Monday (3rd day of trip). We went to the magic Kingdom. I was pissed. I couldn't buy anything and I wanted buy everything. Well. We got our favorite merch and three more days at disneyworld. My favorite was Hollywood Studios. It was the best experience after I stopped being pissy. Lol. ❤😂🎉🎉🎉🎉 Our kid moved out so now we get to travel. Whoop whoop. 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
